The Houston Metropolitan Dance Company (HMDC) is a Houston-based dance troupe that has showcased the work of emerging and established contemporary and jazz choreographers from all over the world since 1995.[1] Helmed by founder and Executive Director Michelle Smith and Artistic Director Marlana Doyle, the company is the sister organization to the Houston Metropolitan Dance Center, which opened the doors to a newly renovated facility in July 2013. Houston's second-largest dance training space, the center offers a large number of dance classes in multiple disciplines to students of all experience levels, ages 3 and up, and is home to HMDC and the Houston Met Too youth training company.[2][3]
